The use of lithium to treat child and adolescent psychiatric disorders is becoming more common. Since the publication of the report of The Committee on Biological Aspects of Child Psychiatry of the American Academy of Child Psychiatry in 1978, a considerable body of literature has accumulated on the efficacy of lithium in treating adolescent bipolar disorders, childhood aggression, and behavioral disorders associated with mental retardation and developmental disorders. Efforts to understand lithium's mechanism(s) and refinements in psychiatric diagnosis have contributed to its growing use.
使用锂盐治疗儿童和青少年精神疾病正变得越来越普遍。自1978年美国儿童精神病学会儿童精神病学生物学方面委员会的报告发表以来，关于锂盐治疗青少年双相情感障碍、儿童攻击行为以及与智力迟钝和发育障碍相关的行为障碍的疗效，已经积累了大量文献。对锂盐作用机制的研究以及精神病诊断的细化，促使其使用日益增多。
